Mirror reflections may seem infinite, but they are not. Because the reflection of light takes time.
The distance between the two eyeballs is almost twenty light seconds, which means that two cities are copied every twenty seconds.
That’s more than one million a year.
In twenty years it will be 30 million.
According to the information Wu Hui saw, this replication has been carried out for seventy years and has hundreds of millions of cities. Of course, there are only a few thousand in the central area under the management of the twins. The proportion is quite small.
"The load on the eyeballs is about to reach the upper limit, so it closes its eyes to clear the cache." Wu Hui pushed up his glasses.
This is an infinite loop with no escape conditions and can only be forcibly interrupted. However, the central area only accounts for a few thousand. Counting the surrounding non-central areas, it only accounts for one ten thousandth at most. If you only keep these and clear other images, you can completely stop the eyeballs from blinking and restarting.
However, it is not easy to make the eyeballs do this.
Wu Hui closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
"Open the door for me, I'm going to the border area." Wu Hui opened his eyes and looked at Li Xiaojing.
"Oh, okay." Li Xiaojing opened a small portal. to remote border areas. Over there, there is another Li Xiaojing waiting for him. And everyone's thinking is synchronized, so it should be said that they are not separated.
This is a relatively remote but not too weird border area.
The rulers are... a group of vampires and werewolves.
It is numbered b3321, and there is a3321 opposite. Both cities are controlled by werewolves and vampires originating from darkness. The era of the city is close to the Middle Ages. The only difference is that b3321 is dominated by werewolves, and a3321 is dominated by vampires.
The city is quite chaotic, werewolves and vampires are rampant, and the demon hunters are trying their best to deal with them. Starting from number 5,000 to number 6,700, there are mirror images of werewolves and vampires.
However, there are probably only a few people who are completely dominated by vampires and werewolves, and even openly keep ordinary humans in captivity. Those who are closer to the inside can usually only operate secretly, secretly control the political power, and even be hunted down by demon hunters.
Further outside, there are existences more terrifying than vampires.
"Well, this is already a city very close to the border. The situation is quite chaotic." Li Xiaojing, whose eyebrows changed slightly and with wolf hair growing on the back of her hands, came to Wu Hui: "Werewolves can even be seen killing ordinary humans on the street. And it doesn’t cost anything.”
At the same time, another avatar of Wu Hui came to a3321. Li Xiaoyue, wearing a black tuxedo, looked out the window with a red wine glass mixed with unknown blood.
"Well, keep opening the door. I'm going to take a look at the outer circle." Wu Hui said, "But the outer area is an area that you two sisters usually don't touch, right?"
"Yes." Li Xiaojing and Li Xiaoyue said.
If you go outside, you have to walk step by step, which is really troublesome. Moreover, Li Xiaojing and Li Xiaoyue on the outside are more or less abnormal. The vampire Li Xiaoyue has already come up to try to bite his neck. The werewolf also started licking his face.
It's a bit open and very aggressive. Although they almost share the same thinking, there are still some differences.
There are many philosophical things to think about when it comes to mirroring, such as whether a mirror is a person and what relationship it should have to oneself. Wu Hui does not consider that, only considers practicality, and must ensure that these images survive.
"Are there no clones of you in the outer world?"
"I don't know. Anyway, we haven't encountered it before. It may be that we lost the ability to spiritually connect to the outer layer during the copying process, or it just didn't appear." Li Xiaoyue finished sucking Wu Hui's blood, wiped her mouth, and felt all over her face. She blushed because for a person of Wu Hui's level, the blood was too much for her.
"But it seems that other versions of us have appeared, and the exploration team has also discovered places outside the border." Li Xiaojing added.
The total number of cities may be hundreds of millions, but the total they control and understand is less than 10,000. This ratio makes people feel that nothing is strange about what happens further outside.
.
b3322.
There are almost no ordinary people in the city, and there are random creatures everywhere. Not just
However, as Wu Hui continued to move forward, and after arriving in b3749, the situation changed - it became a normal city where a pair of monster residents lived in harmony. In addition, it is true that the twins were not seen.
Although there are no pure human beings here, there are at least many humanoid creatures and creatures from human myths and legends. It can be considered an understandable area.
But continue outside. It became increasingly incomprehensible.
There is a hot place where mortals cannot survive, or there is a chaotic night where a hundred ghosts walk. When it comes to areas with numbers exceeding 10,000, they become even more inhuman.
The ground was full of messy flesh and tentacles. The city itself is in a mess, with few well-established buildings visible. Maybe there were intelligent creatures here, but they are extinct
The numbers exceeded one hundred thousand, and there were traces of order again.
At least it can be seen that there were traces of intelligent life activities here a few years ago. It's very unusual. The physical rules here have changed slightly...
However, it is also possible that people in multiple mirror cities have pooled all the available resources around them and struggled to survive in a randomly selected city that is still viable.
The probability of order accidentally emerging from chaos is very low, but it is not impossible.
If the base is large enough, some orderly but not many cities may indeed appear. Wu Hui pushed the glasses. Although mathematically calculated, there may be hundreds of millions of mirrors, but whether there are so many requires actual investigation.
Going dozens of cities further, we finally saw living people.
A short man with many body deformities, picking up rubbish from the ruins in the corner.
Wu Hui's glasses scanned and found that he was the last living person in the city. He is quite a legend for living alone in such a strange environment and surviving with such difficulty.
However, this guy is mostly representative, which may mean that we can really see traces of civilization in the future.
No. b72332, the border beyond the border.
It is already far away from those normal mirror images. Li Xiaojing and Li Xiaoyue, the two beings known as saints, are difficult to reach, that is, Wu Hui relies on his powerful strength and time and space capabilities to continuously penetrate into the far end of the mirror. .
The living environment here is so bad that even Wu Hui frowned when he saw it.
But life can find its own way.
"Not bad." Wu Hui nodded and headed to the next mirror image again.
In fact, let alone this person, even if there are countless mirror worlds combined, he is still extremely fragile in the universe and may be destroyed at any time.
It should be said that the existence of life itself is a miracle.
